Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.

Step 2

Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.

In a small bowl, combine garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and onion powder.

Spray the drumsticks lightly with olive oil spray on all sides.

Step 5

Rub the spice mixture generously over the chicken drumsticks, ensuring each piece is well coated.

Step 6

Place the drumsticks on the wire rack in a single layer.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 8

While the chicken is baking, pour the low-sugar BBQ sauce into a bowl.

Step 9

After 30 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven and brush each drumstick generously with the BBQ sauce.

Step 10

Return the drumsticks to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is caramelized and sticky.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the drumsticks rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm, optionally with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
